Definitely not a cam follower. I had a plug wire come off and realized my 3.0 is OHV.

 

Well I am 400+ miles into my Trans fluid solution and so far no change. I am gonna change my oil tomorrow, I guess its gonna rattle unless I get mechanical on its ***. Any suggestions?

 

sorry,,,but it should be clean when you pull the cover

 

Absolutly, I have no regrets it was worth a try.

 

What kind of oil are you going to use?

 

Well probably something cheap like Quakerstate just to get it changed. I run Castrol syntech in my wifes car and GTX in my truck.

 

you going to pull valve cover ?

 

I would like too. If its just a push rod that could be a cheap fix. Do these engines have non-adjustable valves, just torque the nut and done or do I need to clock the crank and tighten in sequence? I guess I should get a manual first. O'Reilly auto has the gaskets for $17. I just want to keep my invested money low. I bought this van for $500 as a work beater but now I really like it. Never thought I would say that about a minivan.

 

wow,,ya get the book,,you have a good margin to work with there

 

Well I changed my oil yesterday, definitly quieter than it was, but still tapping. Probably quieter due to new oil.
